Disneyland Castle, also known as the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Paris, is the main symbol of this amusement park. In general, the fairytale castle is the logo of the Disney studio; it is shown in the screensaver before each of the company’s films.

There are different castles at Disneyland. In Disneyland Paris, this is the Sleeping Beauty Castle, dedicated to the cartoon of the same name.

A small bridge leads to the main entrance of the castle

It is located at the end of the park’s main street “Main Street” in a small square. Several different Disneyland theme parks converge at this location, so most tourists inevitably pass through it. The castle is the entrance gate to “Fantasyland” – a theme park designed for the youngest tourists.

Souvenir shop in the Sleeping Beauty Castle of Disneyland Paris

The inside of the castle is not very big. The first floor of the castle is a through passage, which houses a souvenir shop made in the style of a fairy tale. The store is interesting because here, right on the spot, a master glass blower makes all sorts of trinkets from glass.

From the first floor of the castle, a staircase leads to the second floor, where there is a small gallery decorated with stained glass windows and various exhibits dedicated to the tale of Sleeping Beauty.

The castle also has a dungeon, made in the form of a dark cave with stalactites. Here lives a fire-breathing dragon that moves and emits smoke from its mouth.

If you want to go to Disneyland Paris, you can buy discounted official one-day and multi-day admission tickets in advance here or here. Tickets are also sold on Disney’s official website, but they are often more expensive there.
